SUMMARY
=======

This article contains a list of the system requirements for Microsoft Office 97,
Developer Edition.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Microsoft Office 97, Developer Edition combines the developers kits for the
Office programs into one all-inclusive kit. Office programs no longer have
separate developers kits as do earlier versions of Microsoft Office. The reason
for this is that each Microsoft Office program shares a common programming
language, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. To use the Microsoft Office
97 Developer Edition, you need:

- Personal or multimedia computer with a 486 or higher processor

- Microsoft Windows 95 operating system or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation
  3.51 with Service Pack 5 or later (will not run on earlier versions)

- For use on Windows 95: 8 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM)
  required to run programs individually (12 MB required to run Microsoft
  Access); more memory may be required to run additional programs
  simultaneously

- For use on Windows NT Workstation: 16 MB of RAM required to run programs
  individually; more memory may be required to run programs simultaneously

- 92-210 MB of available hard disk space required; approximately 140 MB
  required for a typical installation, depending on configuration. Use the
  Office Upgrade Wizard during setup to maximize free disk space.

- CD-ROM drive

- VGA or higher-resolution video adapter (Super VGA, 256-color recommended)

- Microsoft Mouse, Microsoft Intellimouse, or compatible pointing device
  Additional items or services required to use certain features:

- 9600 or higher baud modem (14.4 baud recommended)

- Multimedia computer required to use sound and other multimedia effects

- Microsoft Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Internet SMTP/POP3, or other MAPI-
  compliant messaging software required to use e-mail

- The "Publish to the Web" feature in Microsoft Access requires Microsoft
  Internet Information Server for Windows NT or Microsoft Personal Web Server
  for Windows 95.

- Microsoft Exchange Server required for certain advanced workgroup
  functionality in Microsoft Outlook

- Some Internet functionality may require Internet access and payment of a
  separate fee to a service provider.
